Bach Partita

Choreography by Twyla Tharp
Music by Johann Sebastian Bach
Costumes by Santo Loquasto
Lighting by Jennifer Tipton

Tharp’s ambitious, non-narrative ballet Bach Partita remains striking in scale, featuring six Principal Dancers, fourteen Soloists, and sixteen corps ballerinas. Set to Bach’s Partita No. 2 in D minor—including the spiritually powerful Chaconne—the work challenges every performer, from principals to corps, with choreography that demands both technical precision and expressive depth.
